We found out that you are not on a family registry.
What?
If your name is not in the family registry,
it means you don't exist!
I married...
when I was 18, but...
Stop!
I asked him to submit the divorce papers,
but he refused.
He stalked me.
I was afraid he would kill me one day.
Let's...
get you registered.
Okay.
Let's do a proper job of registering you.
Ouch.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Tanizaki.
The procedures for the statement has been completed.
We will pass the documents to the Ministry of Justice.
I'll go to the police station and have them acknowledge it.
Please come here again after that.
We will officially begin the registration then.
Okay.
Rei will be registered in Ayukawa's registry first.
After that, we will change it to Tanizaki's registry.
But it will be instantly changed to Tanizaki's registry, right?
- You're right. - That's great.
- Right? - Yes.
We will be home soon.
What? The family registry? It's going fine.
- We will be back when it's done. - Excuse me.
Once it is recorded in the registry, it will exist forever, right?
What?
Sorry. Of course, it will.
- I'm sorry. - Thank you for waiting.
Thank you.
Rei, I'm going to work now.
Okay, do your best.
Excuse me.
Thank you very much.
- It's nothing. - It's all thanks to you.
Thank you for everything.
- I'm leaving. - Okay.
Take care.
I finally get to live a normal life.
What?
What would you like as a gift?
- It's fine. - No, it's okay.
What dessert do you want to eat?
Let me think about it.
I guess coffee jelly.
Anything else?
I like tiramisu.
I didn't expect that.
It was popular when I was a student.
When you were a student,
I wasn't even born yet, right?
Is that so?
Yes.
It's going to be lonely.
What?
Of course, I am happy to be registered.
But I won't be going to your place anymore.
Just come whenever you want to talk.
Can I?
Of course.
Okay.
Is that so? That's great.
We still lack some documents,
so we can't register immediately.
But I won't bring you any trouble anymore.
Thank you so much for everything.
We can finally proceed to make you an official employee.
Yes.
Also, about the registration to study abroad...
I'll contact the headquarters after that.
Don't worry.
I'm counting on you.
Sorry.
Congratulations, Rei.
What?
Everyone was talking about it.
That's great.
- Yes. - Congratulations, Rei.
Rei?
I...
Thank you, everyone.
Right, let's celebrate after work.
Let's go to a beer garden.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
But Rei can't drink yet.
Congratulations.
You will be registered, right?
Yes.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
(The Problem of Children Without Family Registry Increases)
Hello. This is Natsume.
This is Tanizaki.
Tanizaki.
Thank you for that day.
I might sound like a busybody,
but I thought you would be interested to know.
Yes?
I think Yoko came home.
What?
Are you in Choshi, perhaps?
No.
Is that so?
It seems the family registration is going on smoothly.
Thank you for informing me.
Welcome.
Hey.
- So you work here. - Yes.
I'm sorry about the incident. Are you okay?
You said the book was a present from your mom,
so I was worried.
It is just slightly torn.
I can still use it after taping it together.
I see. That's great.
I made these apple pies.
Please give me two then.
Thank you.
I like apple pies.
If it's delicious, please come back again.
It's a promise.
Tanizaki Rei.
Yes?
Thank you for your patronage.
See you.
Welcome.
How is work?
Are you still busy?
Yes.
The patissier. Was it Tanizaki?
Yes.
We did most of the required procedures already.
I see.
You have worked hard.
Thank you.
That's too bad.
What?
She was quite cute.
I felt that you have been more energetic recently.
What are you saying?
Don't waste time. Hurry up!
Okay.
What are you doing?
Don't hurt yourself.
You don't have health insurance.
Do it properly.
We are not registered.
We are different from others without a doubt.
But we can't admit defeat because of this fact.
Someone told me this.
That it is okay to be greedier.
I firmly believe that I can shape my own future.
- Here. - Thanks for your hard work.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Here. - Good evening, Kusano.
Have you been busy recently?
You didn't reply to my messages.
I got worried.
I went to the City Office a few days ago.
My mom wrote the statement.
I can finally get it all processed.
A lot of things have happened,
but now I can move forward.
It's your turn now.
Thanks for your hard work.
I...
What?
- I don't want to do... - I put in the renewal...
for your apartment.
Where are your thanks?
You can quit anytime you want,
if you can survive this way.
If there's anything I can do to help,
please tell me.
I'll cheer you on for your bright future.
Please work hard.
Rei.
Dinner is ready.
Okay.
Thank you for waiting.
It looks so delicious.
It's a celebration for you.
- Right? - Nice.
Thank you for coming, Grandma.
What are you saying?
Let's toast.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Bon appetit.
- It's delicious. - Is that so? I'm glad.
Rei, what do you want to do after your registration is done?
Well...
First of all,
I want to be an official employee.
I need to prepare a passport for my studies in Paris.
We can travel abroad together.
You're right.
I want to go to Hawaii.
That's nice.
What about Mom?
Mom?
What? I'm sorry. What is it?
Goodness.
I'm asking which country you like to visit.
I see.
- Pay attention next time. - I'm sorry.
Let's see.
As long as it's with you two, anywhere is fine.
You didn't even answer the question.
It's because Rei finally can move a step toward her future.
That's enough for me.
Mom.
- Yes? - Can I talk to you?
Please come in.
It's great about what happened to Rei.
Looking at her happy face,
I can't help but feel happy as well.
I'm sorry for causing you...
so much trouble.
Regarding Rei's family registry,
can she be registered under Tanizaki immediately?
She first has to be registered under my ex-husband's registry.
After that, it'll be changed immediately to Tanizaki's registry.
I thought that was bothering you.
Rei has to be registered after all.
You won't make them sad anymore, right?
Don't let your two children suffer anymore.
(Apple Pie)
Good evening, Kusano.
You didn't reply to my messages.
I got worried.
I have been busy at work recently.
Sorry for the late reply.
Tomorrow night,
there is a gathering to exchange information...
among non-registered persons.
Do you want to go together?
"I love you."
"My parents."
(Hello. I am the administrator of the Sunflower Forum.)
(You have a new message.)
(Whiskey Bon Bon)
(Do you want to go together?)
Sure.
I'll wait for you at the train station...
after work.
From Tanizaki Rei.
For next month's recommended products,
does anyone have any ideas?
Since summer is coming,
what about making fruit tarts from southern tropical fruits?
We have fruit tarts for this month already.
Even if it's a common delicacy, I prefer something unique.
How about using tomatoes to make a Chiboust cake?
If we use summer vegetables, it would be healthy and refreshing.
Let's try that out.
I want another dessert to cater to the men.
What's your opinion, Tanizaki?
What?
I wonder.
How about tiramisu?
That's right, our store never made them before.
But doesn't it feel like it's too late?
I think it's great.
If we adjust the taste to adults' liking,
it will bring out the store's originality.
Satsuki.
Okay then. You can try it out.
Okay.
Let's get back to work.
Yes.
Satsuki, thank you.
I wasn't helping you.
I just want to find out the winner between the two of us.
That's rare.
You actually took the initiative to contact me.
Let's talk.
What are you after?
What do you mean?
Is it money?
Or Yoko?
Do you still have lingering feelings for Yoko?
You didn't forget about what you did to Yoko,
did you?
It's unforgivable.
If you want money,
I will give you as much as I can.
So...
don't show yourself in front of Yoko anymore.
You are very generous.
I don't want money.
There is something...
more important than money now.
What are you planning?
I'm not planning anything.
Please don't worry.
I am not...
the type of man you think I am.
Tanizaki.
Kusano.
Sorry for making you wait.
It's fine.
Good evening.
Sorry for the sudden visit.
Good evening.
Well...
Regarding Rei's family registry,
there is something that is bothering me.
What is it?
Is there a way...
for her to be registered under Tanizaki's registry directly?
What do you mean?
It's just that...
I am worried...
that Rei will be affected...
by the surname of Ayukawa...
in the future.
This is the legally required procedure.
There will be a record, right?
Yes.
Is there...
another way...
to avoid that?
I understand your feelings.
But according to the law,
it will be hard for Rei to be registered...
under Tanizaki's registry directly.
Of course, it's not totally impossible.
Is that so?
But it requires a trial.
A trial?
Yes,
but it takes a long time.
From the previous cases, it's not easy to win.
Is that so?
Of course.
Anyway, Rei will finally be registered.
Sorry for bothering. Thank you.
Even though I understand her feelings...
and would really love to help her.
We have three new members in our gathering today.
Tanizaki, Izumi and Tomoyuki.
Hello.
Tanizaki, please introduce yourself.
Okay.
Nice to meet you. I am Tanizaki Rei.
I work in a patisserie.
I didn't attend high school because I wasn't registered.
I couldn't rent a room either.
I'm living in a senior's house now.
But...
after I give birth,
I'll have to move out.
The moment I think...
that my child will be like me,
I am very worried.
When I was in elementary school,
I got burnt while conducting a science experiment.
I didn't have health insurance...
or the money to seek treatment from the hospital.
Until today,
I still have the scar.
Tanizaki will be registered soon, right?
How envious.
I'm sorry.
There's no need to apologize.
Izumi, how was the trial?
Trial?
She doesn't want to enter her mom's ex-husband's registry.
She is fighting for it in court.
Is that so?
I don't want...
to follow the surname of the man who made my mom suffer.
Even for one moment.
I don't want to enter that man's family registry.
I feel that would be wrong for both my mom and dad.
I'm sorry.
The meeting today wasn't useful to you.
No.
I heard a lot of stories from people who had it worse.
In the end, you have to sacrifice your children.
What?
Izumi is fighting for her parents,
but didn't all that happen because of her parents?
She suffers a fate that she didn't choose.
Kusano.
I'm sorry.
You are fine the way you are.
Always marching forward bravely.
I'm going this way.
Okay.
See you.
Bye.
I don't want...
to follow the surname of the man who made my mom suffer.
Even for one moment.
I don't want to enter that man's family registry.
I feel that would be wrong for both my mom and dad.
(Article 772 and the Problem of 300 Days After Divorce)
Good evening.
Which one?
This one.
Of course.
Thank you.
Well...
There is something I want to ask.
What is it?
Is it okay...
getting my family registration like this?
What?
At first, I was happy because I'll be registered,
so I didn't notice it.
I have always been a Tanizaki.
Even if I follow someone else's surname for a short time,
come to think of it, it's very odd, isn't it?
Besides,
it's the registry of someone who made my mom suffer.
Did your mom say anything to you?
No.
My mom said...
she is happy...
because I can get registered and move forward.
Is that so?
I wonder if I'm blessed.
What?
My mom didn't object at all.
She supported me the most to do the family registration.
So it's fine to get it like this, right?
Yes.
I'm glad I came here.
What?
When I talk to you,
I feel relieved.
Right, thank you for telling me about tiramisu.
Why?
The store asked me to bake some.
If you didn't mention to me, I wouldn't have thought of it.
Is that so?
I'm glad I was of help.
Once I succeed in baking them, you must have a taste.
Of course.
I'll bring them over.
I'll be looking forward to it.
I'll do my best.
I'm worried that Rei will be affected...
by the surname of Ayukawa in the future.
There will be a record, right?
It tastes great, but can you show more individuality with it?
Else. it is the same as the ones in other stores.
Okay.
This Tomato Chiboust tastes great.
I didn't expect it to be so refreshing.
Indeed.
Please have a taste.
It's great.
It looks unique too.
It will be better if it isn't that sweet.
- Okay. - All right.
Satsuki is doing great.
It will become a hit with the customers.
Good afternoon.
The apple pie was delicious.
Really?
I'll buy it again.
Can I sit?
Please.
Do you live nearby?
Yes.
I just moved here.
Because of work?
You can say so.
What do you do?
I am a glass craftsman.
I see.
Did you make that?
Yes.
I made it a long time ago.
Can I take a look?
It's so cute.
I love apples.
Really?
I'll give it to you then.
What?
This should be important to you, right?
It used to be.
What?
The person I liked also loves apples.
Is that so?
But it was long ago. So just keep it.
Take it as a gift for the delicious apple pie.
Are you sure?
Thank you.
That's right. Apples.
What?
Actually, my manager said...
the cake I made today lacked character.
So I was thinking what my character is.
Did you figure out something because of the apple?
Yes.
Let me taste it once you made it.
Sure.
It's a promise then.
Okay.
How beautiful.
Right?
I have never seen a tiramisu like this.
Bon appetit.
Tiramisu tastes so good with apple.
It's delicious. What a great idea.
I thought about other more difficult ideas,
but I suppose I'm more suited to this.
I must thank the person who gave me this.
It's pretty, isn't it?
Yes.
All right.
Where are you going?
To the City Office.
I promised Mr. Kiyama I would let him taste my tiramisu.
I'm going.
- Have a safe journey. - Take care.
Okay.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Is that all?
Give me more comments.
Such as the appearance or taste.
Weren't you a reporter before?
Seriously.
You're right.
If I were to describe it with one sentence,
it has a taste that makes me energetic.
Energetic?
Yes.
Tiramisu actually means...
"cheer me up" in Italian.
Your tiramisu made me feel exactly this way.
No wonder you are an excellent reporter.
I'm confident right now.
You're welcome.
Right.
Has your mom gone to the police station?
I think she's going tomorrow.
I see.
It has to be grand.
Good evening.
It's break time.
She is always here lately.
The procedures should be done by now.
Isn't she making him buy something again?
A forced sale as usual.
Why don't the two of you try it?
- It's fine. - It's fine.
It's really delicious.
- No. - No, we're fine.
Sorry for bothering you.
Yes?
May I know where is the Community Safety Division?
That way.
Thank you.
(Tanizaki Yoko)
Well...
Here.
Can you describe what happened during this incident back then?
Yes.
It's so beautiful.
How is it?
How about adding some Marsala wine?
I think the aroma will be richer.
Okay.
Other than that, the rest is okay.
Thank you.
From next week, I will release your product and Igawa's.
Can you perfect it within these few days?
Okay.
Good.
It's going to be a unique product.
It's really good.
Okay.
Are you really taking all these back home?
Yes, I want to perfect it as soon as possible.
I see. Good luck then.
I will. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for your hard work.
Are you okay?
Good evening.
Sorry for troubling you.
It's all right.
I'm going this way too.
Right, how is your new product going?
It's going smoothly thanks to you.
I see. That's great.
Good evening.
Well, the police asked me to send these materials to you.
I see, thank you.
I'll hold on to them.
I believe Tadokoro has made formal communications,
so I believe we can begin the procedure officially.
I'm counting on you.
Okay.
Thank you for the advice a few days ago.
I thought about it thoroughly after that.
I still want to move on with Rei together.
Okay, I understand.
Bye.
By the way...
Yes?
It seems like you talked to Rei too.
Thank you for that.
Not at all.
She is doing her best at work.
Yes.
Please take care of us in the future.
Same here.
Apple with tiramisu?
I had the idea from the apple charm.
I see.
That's odd.
What's the matter?
My mom isn't home yet.
What about your dad?
My dad died when I was four years old.
I see.
Sorry for troubling you.
I'll take them from now on.
It's all right. I might as well carry them into your house.
It's all right. Don't worry about it.
- Really? - Yes.
Thank you for waiting.
My husband loves this flower.
I see.
Thank you.
I'm leaving.
Okay.
I told you.
I'm sorry.
Great, there is one left.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Do we have a guest?
Yes, it's the guy who inspired me to make the tiramisu.
He helped me carry my stuff.
You should thank him too.
Amazing, it's delicious.
Mom?
What's wrong?
Run, Rei!
Hurry!
- Run! - What's wrong?
Run!
Don't come over!
Yoko.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I know I can't expect you to forgive me...
for what I have done.
I was worse than an animal, but I've always wanted to apologize.
I lived in remorse...
for these 20 years.
Yoko.
Don't come over!
Please remember, Yoko.
We were once...
in love with each other.
I won't give Rei to you!
I have never forgotten you.
I'm sure...
I can definitely make up for my mistakes from now on.
Yoko.
No!
Yoko!
Stop it!
Let go!
Get out!
Mom.
Rei.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry, Rei.
Mom.
Rei.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I never thought about your feelings.
I don't want to join that person's family registry.
I'll be okay.
I will be fine.
I don't want to.
Because I am...
yours and Dad's child.
Mom.
I'm home.
What happened?
Rei.
Mao.
Take good care of Mom.
What?
Rei.
(Goodbye.)
This is Natsume.
This is Tanizaki.
- Hello. - Something terrible happened.
Yoko's ex-husband...
It's because Rei finally can move a step toward her future.
That's enough for me.
I won't give Rei to you!
Mr. Kiyama.
Please return me all the documents.
What happened?
I won't have my registry made this way.
I was an idiot.
That man made my mom suffer.
I don't want to be in his registry, not even for one second.
I don't want to see my mom sad anymore.
I want to protect my mom.
Mom.
Mr. Kiyama.
I...
have decided to go to trial.
I want to register under the Tanizaki registry.
More than a piece of paper,
your family are connected by deeper bonds.
Is it possible that you are a child from the previous husband?
What is going on?
Don't go to trial.
What?
Parents always want their children to be happy.
I know Yoko.
How do you know my mom?
You are quite enthusiastic about Tanizaki.
Why do you have to go to trial?
It will be the first proof that I am who I am.
I want to own the same name as Mom and Dad.
You have the right to know.
